#71879: Port upgrade may fail to reload port

I believe it's the intention, when upgrading a "loaded" port, to
automatically load the port after activating the new version (the old
version was unloaded as part of deactivation). I've seen this work
occasionally, but it seems to be skipped more often than it works.
`Rsync` seems to have this problem fairly consistently. E.g., from the
recent `rsync` upgrade:
{{{
...
11:37:31.192: ---> Installing rsync @3.4.1_0
11:37:32.509: ---> Cleaning rsync
11:37:32.638: ---> Computing dependencies for rsync
11:37:32.744: ---> Unloading startupitem 'rsyncd' for rsync
11:37:32.790: ---> Deactivating rsync @3.3.0_0
11:37:33.771: ---> Cleaning rsync
11:37:33.784: ---> Activating rsync @3.4.1_0
11:37:35.370: ---> Cleaning rsync
11:37:36.949: ---> Computing dependencies for glade
...
}}}
The result is of course a nonfunctional `rsyncd` until it's manually
reloaded.
